[Mgs] Need advice with removing a front driveshaft nut

Hi, I'm in the process of removing the engine and transmission on my 
1980 MGB so I can replace the cam and clutch.  I've got everything 
disconnected except for one nut on the front driveshaft, which won't 
budge.  The other three nuts came off OK. At this point I've rounded the 
sides of the nut (and probably bent my wrench as well) and can't get a 
grip on it.  I'm thinking of cutting it off but I want to avoid cutting 
the bolt, because I don't want to have to remove the flange in order to 
replace it. Any suggestions on how to get it off without doing more damage?

Thanks.
